County leaders meet tonight to talk SEKMHC payroll
Member counties may make
a pact to restrict tax funding
after salary info made public
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
IOLA Representatives from each of
the counties served by the Southeast
Kansas Mental Health Center are
expected to meet tonight in Iola to discuss what some county commissioners are describing as exorbitant salaries and compensation packages paid
to the organization's top management.
So as to avoid Kansas open meet-
ings law violations that would prevent
a quorum of any county commission
to be in attendance, a single commissioner each from Anderson, Allen,
Linn, Bourbon, Neosho and Woodson
counties was set to attend Thursday
night's meeting scheduled at the Allen
County Courthouse at 6:30 p.m.
Back channel communications
between commissioners of various
counties in the district in recent
weeks has expressed shock and consternation at salaries paid to members of the leadership of SEKMHC,
which one commissioner described
as immoral and others noted were
far in excess of average management
salaries paid in the region.
While none of those commissioners would go on the record regarding
the situation,
commissioners from at
least three
counties
expressed
reticence at
their county
taxpayers
money going
to fund an organization that paid salaries higher than any other mental
health district in the state.
An analysis by the review of non-
profit tax filings from each of Kansas
26 mental health service districts in
the state showed indeed that top management
at SEK is
paid salaries
in
excess of
those paid
to
executives in
any other
district.
SEKMHCs IRS 990 tax filing lists
executive director Nathan Fawsons
salary at $436,000 annually with additional compensation of $191,000. Chief
Operation Officer Doug Wrights salary came in at $307,000 with $137,000 in
other; Chief Financial Officer Job
Springers salary was listed at $287,000
with $136,000 other.
Each County in the district contributes funding annually to SEK in
varying amounts but usually around
$100,000, as mandated by state law that
organized local County Mental Health
Centers in most every county in the
state into regional districts in 1990.
The 990 reports show most of SEK's
revenue comes from billable services,
which are primarily Medicaid funded

County interviews 6 for
Emergency Manager post
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT
Anderson
County Commissioners spent
Monday afternoon and part of
Tuesday interviewing six out
of 18 applicants for the counties Emergency Management
director position, hoping to
find the individual to fill the
post which has been vacant
since January.
Commissioners said they
were pleasantly surprised
at the number of applicants
received for the position,
though some had little if any
relative experience.
Commissioners had scheduled interviews for Mike
Kellerman of Garnett, an
operations manager at the
Walmart distribution center; a fire inspector; Sara
Burkhart of Garnett, a dis-
patcher
with
Anderson
County
Communications;
John Lilburn of Galesburg,
a fire chief; Regine Hurlock
of Parker, an administrative
assistant at Osawatomie State
Hospital, and Wes Skillman,
Garnett volunteer fire chief
and a materials handler at
American Eagle in Ottawa.
The filling of the position
has been in flux since commissioners dismissed former director Mark Locke in
January. Rural fire coordinator Cruz Gillespie has been
serving as interim department
director but has declined to
contend for the full-time post.
Commissioners heard a proposal from County Sheriff
Wes McClain earlier this
year to organize Emergency

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
KINCAID A frequent flyer
in the Anderson County Court
system and former Republican
candidate for governor is
set for yet another preliminary hearing later this month
on charges connected to his
alleged vandalism of a family
member's farm vehicle, and an
additional tussle with county
sheriff's officers.
Arlyn Briggs of Kincaid is
charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer as well as criminal damage
to property in the incident that
occurred last July, when a rift
erupted with his brother Gary
Briggs and involved alleged
assaults on a county officer.
Briggs has been embroiled
in a long running feud with
the Anderson County Sheriff's
Department since an incident
in May of 2022, when he was
charged with criminal threat
and making a false emergen-
cy call during a series of verbal altercations with deputies,
dispatchers and on recorded
voicemail. Briggs pled no contest to a reduced misdemeanor charge of making the false
emergency call, as well a count
of misdemeanor violation of a
protective order in the same
incident.
Briggs was
on 12 months
probation for
the August
30,
2023,
protective
order, when
the July 2024
Briggs i n c i d e n t
occurred.

garnered 80,000 votes from
Republicans in the August
2022 gubernatorial primary
when he ran against eventual
nominee and former Kansas
Attorney General Derek
Schmidt. Schmidt lost the race
to incumbent Governor Laura
Kelly.
Briggs preliminary hearing
on the recent charges is set for
April 29 in Anderson County
District Court.

Present. The Pledge of Allegiance was

Public Comment
Anthony Hermreck, Garnett, met
with the commission. He expressed an
issue with Neosho Road and thought
the motor grader operator should not
have pulled the slope before it rained.
He also stated rock needed to be
added sooner. The rain made the road
muddy and hard to pass.
Road & Bridge
Ethan Lickteig, Road & Bridge
Supervisor, met with the commission.
He gave an update on county roads.
He stated that he and the motor grader
operator for Neosho Road felt the road
had enough rock on it to get through
the rain. They also wanted it to get
packed down before adding more
rock. The motor grader operator only
pulled the slopes back into the road
not any ditches. Ethan will be looking
to hire a mower and truck driver.

WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL
BY DAVID BILDERBACK
not willing for anyone to perish but everyone to come to
repentance. However in Isaiah
55:6-7 we read, Seek the Lord
while he may be found; call on
him while he is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way and the
evil man his thoughts. Let him
turn to the Lord, and he will
have mercy on him, and to our
God, for he will freely pardon.
The implication is God will not
always be found. That is a cold
sobering thought but in the end
it points us to the main theme
of the Bible. We must love
God rather than ourselves. The
only way we can do that is thru
the repentance of our flawed
lives.

I didnt seek the Lord out, he
sought me. I havent changed
myself, God changed me.
There is nothing inherent in
me that makes me desirable in
Gods eyes. In Romans 3:10-12
Paul verifies this when he says,
There is no one righteous, not
even one; there is no one who
understands, no one who seeks
God. All have turned away,
they have together become
worthless; there is no one who
does good, not even one.
In 2 Peter 3:9 we read of the
love God has for man when
Peter says, The Lord is not
slow in keeping his promise as
some understand slowness. He
is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. By
nature our hearts are turned
inward toward ourselves.
Repentance is a turning from
one way of life, heart turned
inward toward ourselves, to a
heart turned toward God. As
I said I did not change myself
God changed me, I am a flawed
person. The problem was I did
not realize this, I was just doing
what everyone else did. There
is a perception that is the way to
a happy, fulfilled life. Solomon
called the results of this pursuit vanity in Ecclesiastes.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW Thursday, April 17, 2025
OPINION
Be inspired by the Easter miracle
For Christians, Easter is pretty much where
the rubber meets the road.
The subjugation of death through faith drives
followers of Jesus Christ on a tenuous lifelong
journey to emulate Christs teachings of love,
forgiveness, charity, sacrifice and redemption.
But the story of Jesus crescendos to its vital
climax the day his missing body appeared reanimated before his followers.
I borrowed this from Pennsylvanias Reading
Eagle:
The scene is described in John 20:1-9: Early
on the first day of the week, while it was still
dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and
saw that the stone had been removed from the
entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter
and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and
said, They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,
and we dont know where they have put him!
In Mark 16:5-7, an angel explains what has
happened: As they entered the tomb, they saw
a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on
the right side, and they were alarmed. Dont be
alarmed, he said. You are looking for Jesus the
Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!
St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15:14, emphasizes
the importance of Jesus Resurrection, writing,
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
The lead-up to Christs Resurrection is equally important to the story, for it is a practical and
powerful example to Christians of the message
of the Gospels: that they are to empty themselves in service to others for God, as Jesus did.
Again, St. Paul, in Philippians 2:5-8: In your
relationships with one another, have the same
mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very
nature God, did not consider equality with God
something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing by taking the
very nature of a servant, being made in human
likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he
humbled himself by becoming obedient to death
even death on a cross!
Most of all, Christians believe Easter celebrates Christs victory over death, opening the
gates of heaven to fallen mankind.
Again, St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 26:
But Christ has indeed been raised from the
dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen
asleep. For since death came through a man, the
resurrection of the dead comes also through a
man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will
be made alive. The last enemy to be destroyed
is death.
And that is what Christians celebrate today,
Jesus victory over death for all, rich and poor,
sinner and saint alike.
Here is how St. John Chrysostom, archbishop
of Constantinople in the late fourth and early
fifth centuries, put it in his famous Easter homily: Come you all: Enter into the joy of your
Lord. You the first and you the last, receive
alike your reward; you rich and you poor, dance
together; you sober and you weaklings, celebrate the day; you who have kept the fast and
you who have not, rejoice today. All of you
enjoy the banquet of faith; all of you receive the
riches of his goodness.
Let no one grieve over his poverty, for the
universal kingdom has been revealed; let no one
weep over his sins, for pardon has shone from
the grave; let no one fear death, for the death
of our Savior has set us free. O death, where
is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?
Christ is risen, and you are abolished. Christ is
risen, and the demons are cast down. Christ is
risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and
life is freed.
The promise of new life is evident for all in
this season of spring, even at this time of so
much tumult and fear in the world around us.
May the hope of sunshine be an inspiration
to all, and the example of Jesus of the Gospels
brighten our world by inspiring the service,
sacrifice and love he exemplified by giving of
himself so fully.
It cant be said much better than that.

Meet the Leftist power brokers engineering protests
Protests against President Donald Trumps
administration have been cropping up nationwide. They appear to have two things in common gray hair and a lack of energy. Are
Americans supposed to believe these are organic? Or are they organized by left-wing groups to
undermine Trumps administration?
Now the answers to those questions are
becoming clear. The Hands Off protests of
April 5 and earlier anti-Tesla protests were supported by a coalition of powerful leftist groups,
including The Indivisible Project, and organized
through Mobilize America which was initially founded as a Democrat PAC. Now leftist organizers are planning more demonstrations across
America for the socialist holiday May Day.
Leftists gathered in cities across America to
protest Trumps administration on April 5. As
images of the events streamed in from across
the web, something soon became clear many
of the protestors were elderly.
Whether disaffected boomers, one-time hippies, or former bureaucrats, these were people
with extra time on their hands. This was not
lost on far-left activists, who used Mobilize
America a volunteer management platform
and network that connects left-wing organizations, campaigns, and activists, according
to InfluenceWatch to stage the Hands Off
protests, apparently attempting to subvert confidence in the Trump administration.
The Hands Off Protests
Hands Off is tied to the Indivisible Project,
which launched in 2016 to help leftists
Resisting the Trump Agenda, according to
InfluenceWatch. Indivisible is listed among
Hands Offs partners, and the groups website directs users to various Hands Off materials. Hands Off directs general inquiries to

an Indivisible.org email address. When The
Federalist asked about this, Indivisible Project
Chief Campaigns Officer Sarah Dohl said the
address online was a typo.
Hands Off is a campaign, not an organization, according to Dohl. She called it a broad
coalition effort, pointing to nearly 200 partner
organizations. According to Dohl, Indivisible
provided Hands Off participants with content,
toolkits, and digital infrastructure.
We were proud to help build the Hands Off
website and provide early infrastructure to get
the campaign off the ground, Dohl said. The
site and campaign are now supported by many
different groups, not just Indivisible.
Indivisible partners with groups like the
American Civil Liberties Union, Planned
Parenthood, Families Over Billionaires, and the
Democratic Socialists of America, whose paramilitary wing is Antifa. Notably, the DSA used
Action Network one of the groups coordinating the upcoming May Day protests to boost
socialists onto the Chicago city council.
A host of leftist groups partner[ed] in the
Hands Off protests, including the anti-religious
freedom Human Rights Campaign, leftist League
of Women Voters, far-left Our Revolution,
radical environmentalist group Greenpeace,
and anti-Trump Womens March. Left-wing
union giants AFL-CIO, American Federation
of Teachers, National Education Association,
Service Employees International Union, and
United Auto Workers also supported the demonstrations.
The Tesla Protests
While arsonists firebombed Tesla dealerships, Indivisible promoted bold, high-visibility protests against the company on the app
Bluesky, with an image of one of the vehicles
burning.
Indivisible provided graphics and messaging to protestors, even suggesting wording for
their signs and offering to reimburse groups
up to $200 worth of expenses for each protest
though Dohl previously told The Daily Signal
the group does not pay protestors.
An Indivisible document online guides demonstrators on Tesla Town Halls, specifically
how to plan a Tesla protest and executing
your Tesla protest. It listed grievances with
Trumps administration, including alleged economic terrorism.
The idea of Tesla Town Halls was one
of several suggestions we offered as part of
our early February congressional recess guidance alongside more traditional options
Dohl said. As The New York Post reported,
Indivisible also backed the Musk or Us protest
during Congresss March recess, encouraging
the use of messages such as Fire Elon Musk

The Media played us: the Biden coverup was no accident
If youre waiting for an apology from the
press for its effort to conceal Joe Bidens decrepitude from the public, dont hold your breath.
Youll likely never get one.
Axios co-founder Mike Allen last week
blamed groupthink and herd mentality for
the industry-wide campaign to downplay the
former presidents physical and mental decline,
the latest sign well never get a genuine reckoning for the partisan media activism of the Biden
years.
This isnt to dog on Allen. Rather, this is to
point out that if even he is making this argument after one of his star reporters, Alex
Thompson, spent months accurately reporting
on Bidens deterioration imagine how much
more reluctant the actual media perpetrators
are to admit to what they did, which went well
beyond casual negligence.
The medias coverage of Bidens health was
all the worst parts of reporter brain coming
together, Allen said in a recent interview with
the Free Presss Bari Weiss. And there is the
groupthink, the monothink [and] cluelessness
. . . And this is where the American people see
something, sense something, and theyre not
seeing it reflected in news outlets that they used
to trust.
He added, And so, specifically with the
Biden health, people discounted what they saw
with their own eyes, ignored it. And this is the
reporter groupthink part of it, that there is an
insecurity, a herd mentality, you dont want to
be separate its like crazy, the typical reporter
instinct.
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BECKET ADAMS THE NATIONAL REVIEW
Fine, lets assume for a moment it was mere
herd mentality. If so, what did the herd
want? The favor of and access to the Democratic
White House, according to Allen.
Thats hardly a comforting excuse.
The herd wanted the approval of the White
House, connectivity of the White House. They
didnt want to look like they were being ideological on Twitter or on other social media when in
fact they were being clinical, he told Weiss.
Elsewhere, former Washington Post and CNN
media critic Chris Cillizza echoed Allens sentiments, saying, While I absolutely believe
that the media myself VERY much included
didnt work hard enough to get around the
smokescreen the Biden people were putting up
around him I do not think that it was intentional activism.
He added, We simply didnt push hard
enough.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is
pure cope. Its as if Allen and Cillizza are unwilling to face the unpleasant possibility that many
in this industry are out-and-out partisans.
The corporate presss mishandling of Bidens
health went beyond incuriosity or thoughtlessness. Many journalists, editors, and commentators behaved as active and willing participants
in a broader conspiracy by the White House to
shield the dotard chief executive.
Yet we were told that it was a conspiracy
to suggest that Biden was struggling to keep up
with the rigors of the job, even though we could
all see this was plainly true. The New York
Times told us it was a conspiracy theory to
notice Bidens tendencies to stumble verbally
and physically. We were told Bidens struggle
to articulate his thoughts was merely a stutter,
long dormant but resurfaced just in time as
a convenient explanation. We were told that
documented evidence of Bidens general deterioration was deceptive or misleading at best
and fake at worst. When the Biden White House
launched a campaign to dispute video evidence
of Bidens frailties, labeling such evidence as
cheap fakes, nearly every corporate newsroom got in line, echoing the exact phrase to cast
doubt on photos and videos clearly showing the
toll of Bidens advanced age.
In June 2023, The Guardian asserted,
Although asking whether the nations oldest-ever president is fit for a grueling and mentally demanding job is a reasonable question,

you must be to obsess about your loss while
Trump Makes America Great Again. It eats at
you day in and day out, and how much I must
say I enjoy your agony.
Okay, I did not vote for Trump but thats okay..
And with that all these weeks and months that
hes been in office I thought it was still okay.
But with everything hes been doing lately hes
had to have a magic marker to write all the
tariffs. Hes degraded himself.
In a previous Phone Forum call I made I
misspoke regarding Trumps disrespect for
military veterans. He only regards combat
veterans who were captured or killed in action
as suckers and losers, not all military veterans,
though I guess Trump could be characterized
as the grand achievement of having half a
heart.
Lets all remember, Easter is coming up. Its
time to get reacquainted with that church you
havent been to in a while. Hint, hint.

2024 SPRING SPORTS
Anderson County baseball
looks to build on last year
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – Anderson County
Bulldogs baseball is poised for
a competitive 2025 season under
head coach Travis, now in his
7th year leading the program.
After finishing the 2024 season
with a 12-12 record, the team is
aiming to build on its solid foundation and take the next step
toward success.
The team will rely heavily on its returning lettermen:
seniors Jack Dykes, Michael
Mains, and Brodie Wiesner, as
well as juniors Brayden Wheat,
Aiden Steele, and Zach Schaffer.
Wheat, a junior, is expected to
take over as the teams number one starting pitcher, while
Schaffer, who had an impressive sophomore season at the
plate, will also contribute on the
mound this year. The leadership
of these players will be crucial to
the teams success as they navigate a challenging schedule.
Looking ahead, Coach Travis
is confident that the teams
strengths will outweigh any
gaps left by key players lost to
graduation, particularly Preston
Kueser, who went on to play college baseball at Labette County.
While not returning many varsity players from a year ago, the
new guys have played a significant amount of baseball and will
help fill those gaps. Coach Travis
described his team as Baseball
Guys who understand the game
and will bring the right mentality to every game and practice.
The competition in the league
will be tough, with Iola and
Burlington expected to be the
top challengers. However, Coach
Travis is wary of all teams in the

Bulldog golfer shoots for fourth consecutive state appearance
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
GARNETT – The Anderson
County Boys Golf team, under
the leadership of Coach A.C.
Russell, is gearing up for an
exciting 2025 season. With
32 years of coaching experience, including 8 at Anderson
County, Coach Russell is confident in his teams ability to
build on last years solid performance.
The Bulldogs, who finished
5th at regionals and averaged
a team score of 386 last season,
placed in the top 5 at three
tournaments, including a 3rd
place finish at Iola. Senior Eli
Martin, a three-time state qualifier, will lead the team again
this year, bringing both leadership and experience to the
course. Martin will be joined
by fellow seniors Isaak Porter,
who is expected to be the solid
No. 2 player, and newcomer
Cayden Davis, a freshman with
a promising game.
Juniors Jonathan Stoltzfus
and Isaac Richards are also key
returners, with Stoltzfus working to improve his short game
and Richards looking to make
a big impact this season.

Were strong off the tee and on

improve, qualify multiple individuals for state, and qualify as

Iola and Wellsville will be
Anderson Countys toughest
competition in the Pioneer

competition will also be a challenge, with several seasoned

Looking ahead, the Bulldogs

Crest Lancers look to continue league stranglehold
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
COLONY – The Crest Lancers
are preparing to defend their
dominance in the Three Rivers
League as they enter the 2025
baseball season with a mix of
proven talent and fresh faces.
Under the steady leadership of
head coach Roland Weir, now
in his 8th year and 7th full
season (due to COVID-19 disruptions in 2020), the Lancers
are focused on continuing their
winning ways.
Coming off a solid 2024 season with a 20-8 overall record,
Crest claimed its fourth consecutive league title and a
regional championship before
falling in the first round of the
state tournament to perennial
powerhouse Pittsburg-Colgan.
While the team graduated a
core group of all-league and allstate playersincluding Rogan
Weir, Ryan Golden, Logan
Kistner, Jerry Rodriguez, and
Brayden Goodellthe program isnt short on motivation
or talent.
Returning
lettermen
include senior Kade Nilges, a
first-team all-league pitcher
and middle infielder, who is
expected to anchor both the
defense and the lineup. Hell be
joined by juniors Drake Weir
(P, 1B, 3B) and Henry White
(P, OF, MIF), both of whom
earned all-league honors last
season. Also returning are
juniors Jensen Barker (C, P,

Coach Weir stated.
Coach Weir expects big

Our strengths should be our

satility, with many players
able to handle multiple positions. Offensively, the Lancers
should be strong if their younger players can adjust quickly to
the speed of varsity play.
However, the team faces
some challenges, including
inexperience and the need to
break in new catchers after a
key injury shifted roles behind
the plate.
Crests competition this
season includes an improved
Southeast Cherokee team and
the addition of Central Heights,
a traditionally well-coached
and competitive program. Nonleague games against Southern
Lyon County (Olpe), Kansas
City Christian, and West
Franklin will add more tests
to an already tough 26-game
schedule.
Despite the youth and
new faces, the Lancers goals
remain unchanged: win the
Three Rivers League, capture
another regional title, and
return to the state tournament
with eyes on a championship.

Ramsey is expected to anchor

track and field season in full
force, The Crest Lancers are
sprinting toward their goal: a
league and regional title push,
with state aspirations clearly
in sight. Led by head coach
Kaitlyn Cummings and assistant coach Tara Nicholas, now
in their third year guiding
the program, the Lancers are
entering the season with depth,
experience, and plenty of motivation.
The Lancers bring back a
strong group of lettermen, providing a solid foundation for

the returning standouts on the
girls team are sophomores
Hanna Schmidt and juniors
Aubrey Allen, Kim Coleman,
Lizzie
Ellington,
Kinley
Edgerton, Peyton Schmidt, and
Josie Walterall of whom are
expected to be key contributors
across multiple events.
The boys team also boasts
a deep roster of experienced
athletes, including sophomore
Xander Fuller, junior Blaine
King, and a senior-heavy lineup featuring Gunner Ellington,
Gentry McGhee, Elijah Taylor,
and Ryan West. Their leadership and competitiveness will
be crucial as Crest gears up for
a challenging slate of meets.
While the Lancers are bolstered by returning talent,
they will need to fill the void
left by key departures such
as Brenton Edgerton, Jerry
Rodriquez, and Mia Coleman.

Veteran coach Troy Prosser leads talented Viking track & field squad
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – With 19 years of coaching experience and a decade at the
helm of the Central Heights Vikings
track & field team, head coach Troy
Prosser is once again leading a talented and motivated group. With 21
boys and 10 girls out for the team, the
program has a solid roster filled with
returning standouts and new faces
ready to contribute.
Practices have been promising,
despite a wide range of spring weather. Weve had some really great practices so far, ranging from 20 degrees
to 80 degrees, said Prosser. Our top
athletes are already working at an
incredibly high level, and our newer
athletes are showing great competitive spirit while learning new events.
Ive also brought in two new assistant
coaches who have added fresh energy
and new perspectives.
The team is anchored by an exceptional senior core of distance runners
who have rewritten both school and
state record books. Connor Burkdoll,
Cody Hammond, Owen Miller, and
Christian McCord return as the backbone of the squad. Burkdoll, the 2A
State Runner-up in the 3200m and
4th-place finisher in the 1600m last
spring, also helped the cross country
team to back-to-back state championships. Hammond was the 2024 State
Champion in cross country and runner-up in the 800m at the 2A State
Track Meet. Miller and McCord also
made strong showings at state, with
top-10 finishes on the track and key
roles in the cross country dynasty.
Together, the quartet made history last spring by setting the 2A state
meet and all-time record in the 4×800
relay with a blazing time of 8:00.20.
They also share multiple school
records across both track and cross
country events.
Looking ahead, Coach Prosser
emphasizes growth, patience, and
peaking at the right time. Our goals
are for every athlete to grow as individuals and teammates, and to enjoy
the progress that comes from effort
and dedication. Of course, we aim to
qualify for the State Championships
and compete at our best.
The team will be tested against
elite competition throughout the season, with appearances scheduled at
prestigious meets like the KU Relays,
Shawnee Mission South Relays, and
Lawrence Free State.
With leadership, talent, and a
championship mindset, this team is
once again poised for another memorable season.

Central Heights Lady Vikings
seeking another state run
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – After a strong
16-9 campaign that ended with
a State appearance, the Central
Heights Vikings softball team
is back and looking to build on
that this season.
Under the leadership of second-year head coach Jayme
Secrest, the Vikings enter the
new season with a core group
of experienced athletes, high
expectations, and a commitment to improvement both on
and off the field.
Central Heights returns a
strong group of letterwinners
who bring leadership, skill,
and chemistry to the field.
Leading the charge are seniors
Abi Roulette, Mel Christjohn,
Sydney Evans, and Jaley
Ferguson. Theyll be joined by
juniors Lyla Hamblin, Aracely
Crump, Macy Cubit, and Ashley
Harkins, as well as sophomore
Cayleigh Latimer, rounding out
a deep and versatile roster.
One of the Vikings standout
returners is junior pitcher
Aracely Crump, who anchors
the team on the mound.
Meanwhile, senior shortstop
Mel Chrisjohn is a key player
defensively who also broke the
school record for stolen bases
last season and is poised for
another big year.
The Vikings are facing an
added twist this season as
they enter a new league. With
the league shake-up, Coach
Secrest admits there are some
unknowns, but history has
shown that Jayhawk Linn and
Uniontown have been consistent threats in the past and
could present strong matchups
again this season.
Team goals for the 2025 season go beyond wins and losses.
The Vikings are aiming to grow
as a unit, stay sharp in the classroom, and continue pushing
toward another deep postseason
run.
While the team only lost one
senior, Emma Bird, the returning group is packed with talent.
We are a strong team. We
work well together. We just
need to tweak some things and
we should have a successful season, she said.
With seasoned leadership
and a hunger to get back to
State, the Central Heights
Vikings are set to make some
noise this spring.

Young team, high hopes: Vikings baseball looks to build on last season
BY KEVIN GAINES
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
RICHMOND – With a mix of veteran
leadership and fresh talent, Central
Heights Vikings baseball heads into
the 2025 season looking to build on
last years 14-8 record. Head Coach
Jason Brown, now in his 23rd year
with the program, is excited about
the energy and potential of this
years group.
This will be a very young team,
said Coach Brown. We have just
one senior and three juniors
everyone else is an underclassman. But weve got a great group of
young men, and theyve been working hard in practice to get ready for
the season.
The team returns several key

Aydan Dunbar (OF/P), Stetson

and GTFO Musk.
Another main group behind
the anti-Musk town hall protests
was MoveOn, as The Washington
Free Beacon reported. MoveOn is
listed among the partners of the
Hands Off protests.
Despite the burning Tesla
graphic, Indivisible included a
disclaimer in its document about
a commitment to nonviolent
action. The group recommended
protesting during business hours
when foot traffic is high, and
focusing on Tesla showrooms,
factories, and dealerships.
Indivisible was not the central organizer of the Tesla day of
action. Some local groups chose
to participate and did so peacefully, Dohl said to The Federalist.
In the protest guidance document, Indivisible told anti-Tesla
demonstrators to register their
event with Mobilize America
the same group used to organize Tesla Takedown and Hands
Off demonstrations. Dohl called
Mobilize a widely used events
platform.
Like many other organizations, we use it to share volunteer
opportunities and amplify partner events, Dohl said. Theres
younger players and keeping the
team focused on their goals.
A bevy of newcomers are expected to make an impact. In addition to
junior Kaiden Reeder (OF), several
freshmen and sophomores are stepping up in early practices, showing
potential to contribute right away.
Last season started strong with
a 7-0 run and a first-round regional
win. Now, the team is setting its
sights higher. We want to compete
for a league title, win regionals, and
get to state, said Coach Brown.
But to do that, well need solid
pitching, strong leadership from
our older guys, and for our younger
players to step up.
Coach Brown also emphasized
the importance of chemistry and
mindset. Trust your teammates,
have a positive attitude, and have
fun!
With a mix of hungry underclassmen and seasoned leaders, the
Vikings are ready to chase down
big goals in 2025.
nothing unusual about that its
just a tool.
Plotting May Day Protests
The Hands Off website hosts
a link to the May Day National
Day of Action. This is a war on
working people and we will
not stand down, the May Day
webpage reads. It links to a May
1st National Day of Action Host
Toolkit, featuring the popular
Marxist iconography of the raised
fist. The guide provides demonstrators with things like sample social media posts, a sample email, and even a sample
message frame to [a]lign your
message with the broader movement, even providing specific
wording.
The guide tells organizers to
register their event with Mobilize
America to enable radical activists to push out your event and
help recruit attendees. The document gives [f]ull credit to Hands
Off and Indivisible for sharing
a sample toolkit we are building
from.

understanding is that plans are
still coming together across the
coalition.

The left-wing Action Network
is also involved, hosting a map of
the May Day events and description that declares, We will not
be intimidated by Trump, Musk,
or their billionaire backers.
Their time is up. And May Day is
just the beginning. According to
InfluenceWatch, Action Network
emerged during the Occupy Wall
Street protests in 2011. It also
helped organize the anti-Keystone
XL pipeline protests, the anti-gun
March for Our Lives, and the antiTrump Womens March. Some
Tesla Takedown global day of
action organizers used Action
Network to plot anti-Tesla demonstrations on March 29.
According to an online map,
the May Day protests are planned
for the coming weeks in major
cities across the country.

Indivisible was founded by
two left-wing activists in 2016 to

to Indivisible.
Mobilize America initially began as a Democrat PAC
and received thousands from
Democrat sources, according
to InfluenceWatch. But Federal
Election Commission filings listed the PAC as terminated in fiscal year 2019-2020. And, as Capital
Research Center Investigative
Researcher Parker Thayer pointed out, Mobilizes privacy policy
shows the group was listed as part
of Bonterra LLC as of February
2023. Bonterra provides various
left-wing volunteer and fundraising services.

frequently criticized Bidens acuity, including making unfounded
claims about his mental competence.
In August 2023, in a moment
lacking any self-awareness, the
Associated Press was stumped by
polling data that showed voters
believed Biden was too old for the
job, but not Donald Trump, who is
only three years younger.
Americans actually agree on
something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be
an effective president in a second term, the AP reported. Only
a few years his junior, Donald
Trump raises strikingly less concern about his age.
The report continued, noting
the public is oddly united in sizing up the one trait Biden cannot change. Yes! That is because
Americans have eyeballs. It was
odd only to those who ignored or
downplayed the obvious.
When Biden himself tore down
the faade, revealing beyond a
doubt in his June 2024 presidential debate that those voter concerns were well-founded, Politico
sneered at the conspiracy seen
by conservatives in those previous media-promoted assurances of
his mental acuity and physical
fitness.
You were lied to. You were told
that the things you saw and heard
were not as they seemed, that you
were the mark in a political-propaganda plot.
Itd be one thing if the journalists who promoted the Biden
administrations lies didnt know
any better. Yet these folks had
spent years covering Biden, from
his time in the U.S. Senate to his
time as vice president and then
finally as president.
They, surely, could recognize

Biden as recently as 2012 as this
author did was confident in saying the Biden of 2020 onward was
absolutely not the same Biden who
skillfully challenged Paul Ryan
during the 2012 vice-presidential

Until there is a forthright industry-wide reckoning for one of the
